OTA (over-the air) configuration
a) To activate GPRS *and* MMS
- SET MMS send to 211
- wait for the configuration to be downloaded to your phone (up to 24 hours)
- once downloaded, you will have SmartMMS data account, and SmartMMS WAP profile, and your MMS is configured already to use SmartMMS WAP profile
- you will also receive a confirmation message that your GPRS and MMS have been activated
b) To configure internet access (full access)
- SET INTERNET T68 send to 211
- wait for the configuration to be download to your phone, in minutes
- once downloaded, you will have SmartPC data account, and SmartPC WAP Profile
- edit this account to include DNS settings. DNS IP addresses are -202.057.096.003, 202. 057.096.004. you only need one.
c) To configure WAP via GPRS
- SET GPRS T68 send to 211
- wait for the configuration to be download to your phone, in minutes
- once downloaded, you will have SmartGPRS data account, and SmartGPRS WAP Profile. SET THIS AS YOUR DEFAULT PROFILE
d) To configure WAP via CSD (Optional - kasi MAY BAYAD ITO, per minute)
- SET WAP T68 send to 211
- wait for the configuration to be download to your phone, in minutes
- once downloaded, you will have SmartWAP data account, and SmartWAP WAP Profile. SET THIS AS YOUR DEFAULT PROFILE
I suggest you clear all your existing data accounts and wap profile beforeyou do this. If you follow the instructions in this order, SmartPC will have a CID=2. Your dial-up number willbe *99***2#

It is FREE, until further notice. I've been using it since I got the phone (December 2001). Just use it after activation. You have to fill up a form and fax to customer service.

i went to a smart wireless center yesterday and when i inquired about gprs, the attendant told me they are charging 8 pesos per minute, just like a regular phone call. and then i asked how to activate it, she said i need to get another number (postpaid) to use this feature. is there sense in what shes saying? |

What, P8 per minute? Smart has not advised its subscribers (that includes me) on the commercial rates of GPRS. My billing does not show anything yet. But you have to be on postpaid to use GPRS. No need to change the number though. |

The attendant was most likely referring to the mobile data office service of smart. it's GSM data or CSD. voice call rates apply, depending on your plan and time of call. |

Yep, Smart's GPRS service is still free just like Globe's. Both Telco says it's free until "further notice." |

do i still have to ask SMART to activate my account for GPRS? or setting-up my fone using the step-by-step procedure is enough to use the GPRS? |

@dan_t, you need to ask smart to activate gprs. there is a form you need to fill up. it takes a day for activation. dial *888 to follow up. |

So the only way to get GPRS activated is to go to a Smart Telecenter? No online version of the form we can just print and fax...or something? |

@yiz19, call *888 and ask them to fax to you the GPRS activation form (this is actually a generic after-sales service form). just specify you want GPRS activated (put your request in the details section), then fax it back to smart. upon receipt, you wait 24 hours for the activation. If you want, you can download and print the form here then fax it back to 5114160.
